A fabric having a first side and a second side and comprising weft yarns and warp yarns woven together in pattern. At least some of the weft, or warp, yarns float over a number of warp yarns, or weft yarns, and below a number of warp yarns, or weft yarns, to provide weft, or warp, over portions on the first side and under portions on the second side. The under portions and/or over portions of the yarns form loops. At least some of the yarns that form the loops are conjugate yarns comprising a plurality of filaments that are separable, i.e., splittable into sub-filaments. The loops of the conjugate yarns extend for a length of at least three adjacent warp, or weft, yarns.

A circular loom for weaving a weaving core along a weaving axis with at least one shuttle, which comprises a weft thread spool and is movable along a circular orbit path around the weaving core. The orbit path is formed of first track segments arranged one after the other along its circumference and at least one movably arranged or designed guide device is provided, which guides at least one warp thread provided from a warp thread spool on a warp spool device and on which at least a first track segment of the orbit path and at least a second track segment alternatively assignable to the orbit path are arranged and guided, where in the guided absence of the first and second track segment from the orbit path the guided warp thread, crossing the track plane, passes through the orbit path.

An artificial turf mat includes a backing and a number of protruding artificial grass blades divided into rows and connected thereto. The mutual distance between successive blades in a row is substantially equal to the distance between adjacent rows and amounts to at least 10 mm. Such an artificial turf mat can be used to form artificial turf fields, for example, on which sports, and in particular ball sports, are played.

Terry products include a ground component including a plurality of ground warp yarns and a plurality of weft yarns interwoven with the plurality of ground warp yarns. The ground component includes a lower side and an upper side opposed to the lower side along a vertical direction, and a pile component includes a plurality of piles that extend away from the ground component along the vertical direction. The plurality of piles are formed from a set of pile yarns including plied yarns. The plied yarns include two-ply yarns including natural fiber yarns and polymeric yarns. The natural fiber yarns can include cotton and the like. The polymeric yarns can include polyester and the like.

A circular loom for weaving a weaving core with at least one shuttle, which has a weft thread spool and is movable along a circular orbit path around the weaving core. At least one guide device, designed to guide at least one warp thread provided from a warp thread spool on a warp spool device, is movably arranged or designed outside a track plane enclosed by the outer circumference of the circular orbit path, the guided warp thread, crossing the track plane, passing through a recess in the circular orbit path.

The present disclosure provides a fleece fabric including a base material and a plurality of second yarn sections. The base material includes at least one first yarn strand. The second yarn sections protrude above a surface of the base material. At least a portion of the first yarn strand is fused and attached to the second yarn sections.
